The unexpected nature of illness is in the numbers; every 40 seconds, someone in the United States experiences a myocardial infarction.¹ In 2022 alone, nearly 1.9 million new cancer cases were diagnosed nationwide,² with 139,320 of those cases projected to occur in Texas.³ These statistics represent individuals facing health battles and daunting economic setbacks.

As a physician, you witness firsthand the stories behind the numbers and grasp, more than most, the emotional weight and financial strains a diagnosis of a critical illness can bring. Primary health insurance serves as a shield against routine medical expenses. However, when confronted with a severe illness, it won’t cover all the medical and non-medical costs that often follow when a critical illness diagnosis is confirmed. TMA Insurance Trust has created a solution - the TMA Member Critical Illness Insurance plan. This plan was designed to complement your existing health coverage and provide an extra layer of financial protection.

Until March 1st, 2024, TMA members under 65 are guaranteed acceptance for $20,000 in coverage, and when the member enrolls, guaranteed acceptance extends to spouses who enroll for $10,000 of coverage-no questions asked. Benefits are paid directly when a diagnosis is confirmed.

Benefits Beyond Health Insurance

While seeking more affordable health coverage today, many choose plans with higher deductibles, copays, and coinsurance. Yet, when confronted with a severe illness, this can mean significant healthcare expenses. Additionally, such plans tend to overlook the potential loss of income. This is where TMA Member Critical Illness Insurance steps in as a complement to your primary health coverage. This comprehensive plan offers benefits tailored specifically to help protect your financial health.
